Furyk's fourth 3

ATLANTA -- A tap-in birdie at the seventh hole has extended Jim
Furyk's string of 3s and given him sole possession of the lead
again at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola.

Furyk's fifth birdie during that seven-hole stretch came from a
mere 10 inches. He's now 6 under and one stroke ahead of local
favorite Matt Kuchar, who went to Georgia Tech. Kuchar has started
with a trio of 3s, two of which were for birdie.

Overnight co-leader Tiger Woods was unable to get up and down
from a greenside bunker at the first hole so he's dropped back to 3
under. His playing partner, Justin Rose, who matched Woods'
first-round 66, has parred the first two holes and his tied with Bo
Van Pelt.

UPDATE: Furyk’s streak ended at the eighth
hole where he missed the green and was unable to chip in from 22
feet behind the green.

No one had ever made seven straight 3s at the TOUR Championship.
But a total of 25 players had made six straight.

Furyk’s streak was the most since Louis Oosthuizen made
nine consecutive 3s at Firestone Country Club in the fourth round
at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational earlier
this year.
